Library Plaza Grand Opening Photos
Great news! The Library Plaza officially opened this past Saturday. Suddenly we have a new, beautiful space in downtown White Plains to enjoy. The Plaza offers great environments to spend time with friends, read and relax, explore the native plantings, or enjoy lunch from the Library's Everyday Healthy Cafe. Here's a link to photos from the ribbon cutting.

Coming Soon
 Thanks to generous support from donors to the White Plains Library Foundation, we're in the process of replacing some of our most heavily used furniture with terrific new seating and tables. Designed for comfort, durability and portability,  the beautiful chairs pictured here will be easily moved around the Edge to accommodate quiet reading, group activities, or hanging out with friends. Thank you, donors.
